My latest story for @SpectrumNews1WI explores a new trend that's emerging amid a difficult housing market: co-buying a home with someone other than your romantic partner.

Here's how one friend pair from Wisconsin made their housing a dream a reality. https://t.co/ohH1QW0SBI

The low vacancy rate also doesn't help.

Milwaukee was ranked as the second most competitive rental market in March 2024 by RentCafe, with a vacancy rate of under 6%.

@MarquetteU expert Andy Hunt explained this incentivizes landlords to push up costs. https://t.co/wTMCIkihro

When I set out to cover the rising cost of rent in #MKE, I didn't expect just how complicated the issue would be.

What data and interviews revealed is that everything is interconnected and it will take a collaborative effort to fix. @SpectrumNews1WI

Katerina Klawes is one renter who was forced out of a home she loved because rent was increasing. She's not alone in this journey.

Estimates show the average rent in Milwaukee to be over $1,000 per month. https://t.co/wTMCIkihro

Inside John Dolphin's 2,514-square-foot home, there isn’t a space left untouched by a theatre or Broadway influence. It came from a decades-long career in theatre: https://t.co/G9twprxqRj

Dolphin spent years in a thriving theatre career, helping productions across the state with lighting and set design.

It was a pleasure to tell his story.

John Dolphin's ranch home in New Berlin, Wisconsin may look normal from the outside, but inside it's a whole other world.

Workshops she hosts also offer the younger generations a chance to learn the craft of paper mache, which is rooted in the Mexican culture.

[Rachel Ryan @rachelryan_06]

A couple months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Ceci Tejeda, a local artist in #Milwaukee .

She's been making paper mache since she was 15 years old in Mexico. But to her, it's more than just art.

Her pieces sometimes reflect a deeper meaning.

She's made pieces to support social movements, such as this car with an immigrant family she made in support of workers' rights for Voces de La Frontera.
